(Before anyone thinks I'm saying that to provoke flame—I'm not... it's just a genuine joke... honest!)
Even though I've not been able to log on, I've still been reading the forum as a "guest". The one thing I noticed was that a few people had carried on where I left off (no names mentioned). Certainly, a lot of what has been said since my exile definitely comes under the category of "flamebait", which only proves that no-one's whiter than white!
Anyway, the less said about that the better. Being banned for three days has done me good. When I went to bed on Sunday night after being banned, my head was spinning. To be honest, I felt infuriated at first, then somewhat dejected. It took me ages to get to sleep and when I finally did manage to "drop off", my sleep was restless. But going back to what I said about the ban doing me good... it really has! It's made me realise how stupid I've been, by ignoring what people have said (largely because I don't take time to read the preceding posts). I'm also very bad at repeating the same thing over and over again. I'm like a dog with bone... once I've got hold of something, I find it very difficult to let go!
So, now it's time for me to eat "humble pie". I'm always one for apologising when I've done something wrong... it's better than trying to cling on to one's pride by refusing to acknowledge when one is in error. So, I am sorry for behaving like a total idiot. I really mean that! I apologise to all those who have had to put up with my rantings. A special apology is extended to Xest, who was totally justified in banning me and who was perhaps the person who suffered most because of my disrespectful attitude.
I'm not asking for forgiveness, just another chance to earn your respect. I'm going to do my best from now on not to say anything that's going to break the rules of the forum. Also, if I do make a comment I will make it once only and avoid repeating it. I will make sure I read everything before I post anything. Should I miss something by mistake, please remind me... I don't want to make the same error again.
So, thank you for reading this post and all the best to you.
